CSTA: A Biomarker Regulating Esophageal Stricture Epithelial Barrier, Potential Medication Target
2023-10-25
Abstract excerpt
Esophageal strictures resulting from ESD/EMR in the esophagus are distressing, with uncertain causes and treatments due to epithelial barrier dysfunction. We explored cystatin A (CSTA) as a novel biomarker for the esophageal epithelial barrier. CSTA regulates the barrier and is influenced by tacrolimus (FK506). Analyzing biopsy samples by proteomics, we identified CSTA as an esophageal epithelial biomarker. Knocki...
